  • Trams in Brixton 1870 - 1951
    TRAMS IN BRIXTON 1870 - 1951 Horse Trams Two Acts of Parliament, passed in 1869 and 1870, empowered the Metropolitan Street Tramways Company to construct tramways from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to Brixton and to Clapham. The company got to work quickly; they lost no time in laying down double tracks with rails level with the surface of the road. 2 May 1870 was an important day in Brixton's history. It was the day when the first authorised tramcars operated in London. 1 The new trams ran that day from the Horns Tavern in Kennington Road and along Brixton Road as far as its junction with Stockwell Road. The smart blue tramcars were hauled by two horses. Cars seated 22 persons inside and 24 on the open top deck. The passengers inside sat on red velvet cushions. For top deck passengers were two wooden benches running the length of the tram; these passengers faced outwards. Trams ran every five minutes. The normal fare was a penny a mile but Parliament had required special trams to be run for workmen in the morning and evenings at a halfpenny a mile.2 As soon as the 1870 Act was passed more track laying was rushed on with, and by the end of 1870 trams were in service from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to St Matthew's church, Brixton, and another line ran along Clapham Road to the Swan at Stockwell. During 1871 tramcars had reached the Plough at Clapham, and the Brixton Line had been extended to the junction of Brixton Water Lane.

Although reconfirming parts of the country guidance given in MA (Draft evaders – illegal departures – risk) Eritrea CG [2007] UKAIT 00059 and MO (illegal exit – risk on return) Eritrea CG [2011] UKUT 00190 (IAC), this case replaces that with the following: 2. The Eritrean system of military/national service remains indefinite and since 2012 has expanded to include a people’s militia programme, which although not part of national service, constitutes military service. 3. The age limits for national service are likely to remain the same as stated in MO, namely 54 for men and 47 for women except that for children the limit is now likely to be 5 save for adolescents in the context of family reunification.

  • Brixton Goes Into Hyperlocal S
    Brixton is fast becoming not only a place to play, but also to work. Its proximity to transport links, ready supply of young professionals and cool nightlife is attracting companies at a pace where demand is outstripping supply. Union Street Partners are actively representing 55,000 sq ft of office space across seven properties in the area and we believe we are at a critical point of opportunity for further redevelopment in the area, especially with the concept of ‘Hyperlocal’ space becoming more important in the post-Covid world. Perhaps surprisingly, the total stock of office space in the Brixton area stands at just over one million square feet but only a fraction of that is high quality, the remainder being secondhand or studio/workshop style. This report looks at the active and current occupiers, what changes are ahead for the area and our view on the impact of Covid-19.

Towards a Social Psychology of Community Caroline Susannah Howarth Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Psychology London School of Economics and Political Science University of London December 1999 For my mother who taught me to question 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Throughout this research I have been overwhelmed by the generous support of those around me - friends, family, colleagues and students. In helping me develop and focus the ideas presented here - there are many to mention. I want to thank Sandra Jovchelovitch, one of my two supervisors, for both challenging and supporting me, as well as Marie-Claude Gervais for her invaluable suggestions, Ivana Markova for her perceptive insights, Sonia Livingstone for her help with the media sections, Roger Silverstone for his enthusiasm for 'community', Willem Doise for his useful comments on identity theories, Peter Loizos for his practical advice, Steve Bennett for his valued technical support, Vanessa Cragoe for her meticulous proof reading, Bradley Franks for his constructive criticism, the PhD community in my department for lively debates, the students I taught for asking difficult questions and, importantly, Gerard Duveen, without whom I would not have started, or completed, this thesis. Anyone familiar with the work of Rob Farr will see the influence of his supervision in my research. It was a great honour, and a constant source of inspiration, to be taught by one of the central figures of a truly social approach to social psychology. On a practical note, I am grateful to the London School of Economics and Political Science for a teaching assistantship (1996-1997), and to the Economic and Social Research Council for a research studentship (1997-1999).
